Okra in spicy yogurt curry

Okra is one of my favourites and is so nutritious. Okra is low in calories and carbs and contains protein and fibre. Okra is an excellent source of vitamin C which contributes to your overall immune function. Okra is a unique vegetable as it provides enough protein which other vegetables lack. Okra is great for lowering cholesterol and gut health.

If you don’t like the yogurt version, I have another recipe without the yogurt here.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp cooking oil (sunflower oil, grape-seed oil, avocado oil)

• 2 medium onions, finely chopped

• 2 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped

• 1 tsp garlic paste

• 1/2 tsp ginger paste

• 1/2 tsp green chilli paste

• 1 1/2 tsp coriander ground

• 1 tsp cumin ground

• 1/2 tsp turmeric ground

• 1 tsp fine sea salt

• 1 1/2 Lb okra ( I used frozen okra)

• 1 1/2 cup plain yogurt (plant based or dairy)

• !/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped (save some for garnish)

Directions:

In a medium size pot, saute onions till translucent. Add tomatoes, garlic ginger, green chilli, spices and salt.

Stir the mixture and cook till tomatoes are cooked through and it looks like a good curry base. Add okra and cook for 3-5 minutes and finally add yogurt and cilantro and cook for another minute.

Garnish with cilantro and serve with roti and rice and pickle of your choice.

Enjoy!
